Li Shushu was also depressed. She had come here to watch a show, but she didn't expect to suffer such an unexpected disaster in vain.
The effect of the medicine... is too weird, right?
She asked the palace maids to bring many large palm-leaf fans and fan the room inside and out for half an hour before the smell dissipated a little.
When she entered the hall again, covering her face with a handkerchief, she saw Yan Yuyan covering her belly, which had already shown a slight bulge but was now completely deflated, with a look of disbelief on her face. "Impossible, how could this be possible? It's impossible. My child, what's going on?..."
She cried out, unwilling to give in. "It must be you, Li Shushu. It must be you who used some evil trick to take my child away..." She frantically wanted to come over and tear Li Shushu apart...
"It's unreasonable!" The aftertaste in the palace had not yet dissipated, and Li Shushu had lost his patience to watch the show. He simply left Zhongcui Palace surrounded by the crowd.
She could still hear Yan Yuyan crying and laughing: "I'm so stupid, how could I be so stupid? Father, brother, it's all my fault. I killed you all for this non-existent fetus in your belly... Yan'er was so stupid... Yan'er is guilty, Yan'er will come to apologize to you soon..."
Li Shushu shook her head. She did not choose to tell her that she had given her a fake pregnancy pill. After all, they had not been in contact for a long time, and Yan Yuyan would not believe it even if she told her.
Besides, she is going to die, so why should she bring hatred to herself?
Rather than letting her know before she dies that she was harmed by someone and blame Li Shushu for her resentment, it might be better to let her die in guilt because of her own stupidity and harm her closest family members, right?
On the second day, when the palace maid came to report that Yan Yuyan had hanged herself, Gu Jingyan happened to be in Fengyi Palace again.
He only paused for a moment without even raising his head. Instead, he said to Li Shushu, "Shu'er, you've worked hard!"
Sometimes, Li Shushu would sigh in his heart: If the heart of an emperor becomes cold and hard, it would really make people feel chilled!
But fortunately, this coldness and hardness was not directed at her!
…
The day has come for the rebels to be executed.
The night before the execution, Li Shushu informed the emperor and took his mother to the prison to see Prime Minister Li for the last time.
Originally, Li Shushu had no feelings for such a father and didn't want to see him again.
But thinking about the girl's frustrated life, after much deliberation, I decided to take her there to vent her anger.
Li Shushu brought his young mother with him and, with the guidance of someone, they arrived in front of Li Xianglao and dismissed everyone.
Li Xiang, who had not been seen for many days, took off his official robe and changed into prison clothes. He had long lost his former vigor and vitality, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
In the dim sky prison, a rotten smell lingered in the air, and water was dripping from somewhere.
When Prime Minister Li heard the noise, he slowly raised his head, and his scattered pupils gradually focused. Only then did he realize that the woman in luxurious clothes in front of him was his former concubine and illegitimate daughter.
He quickly crawled to the cell door where Li Shushu was standing and asked excitedly, "Shushu, is that you? Shushu, are you here to rescue your father?"
Li Shushu frowned, moved away from him, and said, "Father has committed such a serious mistake, yet he still relies on me to rescue you. I'm afraid he's wishful thinking."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang straightened his kneeling body and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Shushu: “It doesn’t mean anything, it just means what it says.
At this point, it is unlikely to rescue my father.
I just wanted to come and visit you, thinking of the 'kindness' that father has shown me and me in the past."
Li Xiang heard the mocking tone in her voice. How could a man who had always been proud and arrogant swallow such a humiliation? "In that case, your Highness should go back. I am fine. Don't worry about me."
Li Shushu scoffed. "Of course I'm not worried, but my daughter feels sorry for me and is very upset. Bringing her here to see your miserable condition will help me relieve the anger that has accumulated in my heart for many years!"
"Li Shushu, you!" Li Xiang pointed at her with a trembling finger. "I am your father after all. What hatred or grudge do we have against each other? It would be fine if you didn't rescue me, but why are you forcing me so hard? Don't you have any sense of filial piety or ethics in your heart?"
"Hahahaha" Li Shushu seemed to have heard a huge joke.
"Filial piety? Ethics? Morality? Are you worthy of it?
When you forced me to marry you, did you care about moral principles?
You married this young girl, but apart from forcing her to perform the Zhougong ceremony with you, you allowed Madam Liu and all the brothers and sisters in the room to bully us mother and daughter. Have you ever considered ethics?
When you asked me to be Li Xiaodie's maid and enter the palace to be a slave, and you didn't care about my life or death, did you ever think that I was also your daughter?
"If you take off your pants to fart, then put your pants back on and walk away, how can you be said to be filial to them?"
"You, you, you..." Li Xiang was speechless after being rebuked by her. He had never thought that his daughter, whom he had disliked the most before, would be so eloquent. It seemed that he had really misjudged her before, and it was not just a little bit.
He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and then he began to cough uncontrollably.
Seeing him like this, Li Shushu felt relieved. She had said everything she needed to say and scolded her mother, so she didn't want to stay any longer.
She looked at the young lady and asked gently, "Young lady, do you have anything else to say to him?"
Hearing this, the young lady turned her head and looked at Li Xiang, but shook her head at her, "No, it's better to go to Shu'er. Let's go."
She has always been taciturn, but Li Shushu just helped her express what she was thinking.
We had nothing in common to begin with, so what else is there to talk about now?
"Okay." Li Shushu took the girl's hand lovingly.
"Shu'er, Fifth Aunt, don't go, I was wrong, I was wrong!
Can you give me a chance to correct myself?"
Li Xiang suddenly remembered the important matter and wanted to continue to play pitiful, so he tried hard, "Shu'er, His Majesty loves you. As long as you ask, His Majesty will definitely listen to you. After you get out, our family of three will live a good life, okay? I will definitely treat your mother well..."
"Your Majesty? Will she listen to me and let you go?" Li Shushu pretended to think seriously for a moment.
"Maybe you're right." Li Shushu paused, her eyes raised in a mocking smile, but she didn't turn around. "But I don't want to. Sorry."
"Let's go!" The mother and daughter held each other's hands tightly and slowly walked out of the prison together.
She clearly felt that the girl's usual tense mood was completely relaxed this time.
Seeing his wife like this, Li Shushu also completely relaxed.
I hope that after tonight, I can be completely transformed, and from now on, I can enjoy the rest of my life comfortably under her protection.
